Episode Description:
Landing in Edinburgh, Tōma and Index are greeted by Kanzaki, who takes them to Buckingham Palace. There, Tōma and Index meet Queen Elizard, First Princess Riméa, Second Princess Carissa, Third Princess Villian, and the Knight Leader. The meeting starts in earnest after Tōma is given a brief lecture regarding Curtana Original a powerful sword originally possessed by the Royal family said to hold the power of Archangel Michael, along with the Curtana Second, a replacemet currently wielded by Elizard after the original was lost. At the meeting Elizard voices suspicions that the Eurotunnel bombing was carried out by the French Roman Orthodox Church. Furthermore, Elizard states that Necessarius have tracked the source of the interference that prevented them from landing Tōma and Index's hijacked flight to Scotland, the perpetrators being a mysterious organization known as "New Light" who have just completed an archaeological dig. Elizard then dispatches Index, the Knight leader along with Princess Carissa and Princess Villian to investigate the Eurotunnel bombing and the members of the Anglican church to investigate the true intentions of "New Light" with Tōma in tow. In London, the members of New Light arrive with the artifact obtained from their dig, however, their plan goes awry when Lessar, one of the members of New Light causes a scene after accidentally misplacing a suitcase she was carrying. The members of Necessarius manage to subdue two members of New Light, whilst Tōma partnered Oriana Thompson (now working for Britain), pursue Lessar. Whilst chasing Lessar, the Church of England calls Tōma and informs him that the suitcases carried by the members of New Light are linked and that the contents of one case can be freely teleported between any of the others. After cornering Lessar, she reveals that there in fact five cases and she transports the artifact to the fifth case. Immediately after, Tōma saves Lessar from an assassination attempt. Oriana recognizes the weapon used in the failed assassination as being a Robin Hood arrow, a weapon only used by members of the Knights of England. Lessar then explains that the artifact that was being carried by New Light is in fact the Curtana Original and that New Light themselves are working for Princess Carissa. Carissa plans to use the Curtana Original to launch a coup against the British monarchy with the intention of launching an invasion of France.
